Agreed. I'd like to avoid longer than 9 months too.

I think that this is an edge case of time-based releasing: the absolute
minimal work we need to do to make a time-based release is to release
the trunk. Hopefully we'll be doing more than the minimal amount of
work, and we'll actually fix some bugs before we release the trunk. A
release can be a good opportunity to fix lingering bugs, after all.
Of course with eggification of Zope 3, 'releasing the trunk' is going to
be less meaningful in the future...
